Prerequisites:Students should be comfortable with the Essentials of Autodesk Revit.

Part One: Collaboration Tools

Course Objectives:

Enable students who have a basic knowledge of Autodesk Revit to increase their productivity while working with other people on a team, either in the same firm or other firms, and while working with Autodesk Revit files or other CAD files.

Course Description:

Autodesk Revit Architecture is a BIM tool, which can be used by more than one person working on a new project. This is an important feature in collaboration within a project, between projects, and with other users, firms, and disciplines. Topics include:

Introduction to Worksets-Opening and Saving Workset Related Projects-Working in Workset Related Projects--Visibility and Display Options with Worksharing-Worksharing and Linked Models-Setting Up Worksets.

Part Two: Conceptual Design & Visualization

Course Objectives:

Enable students who have worked with Autodesk Revit Architecture to expand their knowledge in the areas of Conceptual Design, including massing studies, space planning, visualization, and rendering.

Course Description:

As architects and designers start a project, they frequently think about the overall massing of a building or the area of the footprint. Autodesk Revit Architecture, using its powerful BIM engine, includes tools for creating mass elements that can be modified into many shapes. You can then apply walls, roofs, and floors to them to continue designing. You can also access space planning tools for setting up areas for rooms and applying colors to them to show the connections. For presentations, you can create and render perspective views. Topics include:
